In some unusual cases, you may need medicine to deal with the brain chemistry that cannot turn off the fear signal.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We all have experienced the moments in our lives when we are uncertain if we did somewhat what we were supposed to do, for example; Did I lock my garage door? Is the front door locked? Did I wash my hands? Is the tab is still running? It does make sense to go and check. Once we make sure that we have done what should have to be done or we have not done that yet, we go and check that just to satisfy ourselves, and when we find that our doubt was fake, we feel comfortable. This whole situation is just over for us, but for the people who are suffering from OCD, it is not over for them; they keep on checking repeatedly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>How can EMDR help with OCD?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you have been told that EMDR can only deal with the traumatic condition, you should know how often the people suffering from OCD were also diagnosed with PTSD. Both OCD and PTSD are anxiety-related\u00a0disorders that are usually diagnosed in individuals with a history of traumatic conditions. Case studies show that there is a 30 percent possibility of an individual with PTSD developing OCD within a matter of one year, and between 4 to 22 percent of individuals with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.junabrookes.co.uk\/staging\/5147\/ptsd-treatment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PTSD<\/a> also possess every single one of the symptoms of OCD.<\/p>\n<p>If you are still not certain about EMDR, whether it can be useful for your condition or not? And If your OCD is the product of a traumatic incident in your life, then using EMDR to minimize your symptoms like;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sense of Detachment<\/li>\n<li>Flashbacks<\/li>\n<li>Negative beliefs about yourself<\/li>\n<li>Nightmares<\/li>\n<li>Inability to focus<\/li>\n<li>Poor sleep<\/li>\n<li>Strong intrusive thoughts<\/li>\n<li>Dominant emotions<\/li>\n<li>Lack of interest in pleasant and healthy daily activities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7248\" src=\"https:\/\/www.junabrookes.co.uk\/staging\/5147\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/hello-i-m-nik-z1d-LP8sjuI-unsplash-246x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"266\" height=\"324\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And many more can make your life better, which is what you exactly want. Because persons with OCD always try to quiet their fears, EMDR helps them to create a calm situation and a secure state for them to go back easily in their minds. I work on your fears to shape them so that they can clean the negative thoughts, i-e, your fears will kill you. I always use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.junabrookes.co.uk\/staging\/5147\/emdr-therapy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EMDR therapy<\/a> to stable an unstable mind. EMDR also uses some parts of CBT in the sessions by providing proper ideas about your experiences. Additionally, it provides access to memories and fears that are causing troubles and are stored in your brain and bodily experiences.<\/p>\n<p>Anxiety and fear are the two sides of the same coin that has roots somewhere in your childhood or the memory of any disturbing event, and whenever you recall, your mind and whole body react differently. In this uncomfortable situation, your response is very important, and the ability to respond positively and strongly in this very situation can only be developed through EMDR therapy. In OCD, it is only EMDR therapy that makes you believe that your fear is not your fate.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After assessing how the specific obsession and fear affect you, whenever you remind the disturbing event we can target it to make it less complicated and when we feel the improvement only then we will focus on the future and make you strong enough to handle this and also the thoughts that can come to your mind in the future. All this can happen through the use of EMDR, and it has the potential to reduce your OCD significantly. However, it is time taking but is well worth it. I believe that\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bridgestorecovery.com\/our-program\/therapies\/eye-movement-desensitization-reprocessing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR)<\/a> is the key to recovery for those struggling with OCD.<\/p>\n<p>Look, EMDR therapy is the symbol of hope for those suffering from OCD as EMDR delivers promising outcomes. The patient feels remarkable improvement within 2 to 3 sessions and minimizes the symptoms up to 80 percent. It is nothing more than a misconception that EMDR cannot do better or is not a suitable option for OCD compared to other therapies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How Can you defeat OCD with EMDR<\/strong>?<\/p>\n<p>There are certain things that individuals suffering from OCD can do! Make yourself believe that EMDR is going to work for you because positive thinking is the best thing you can come up with at the start of this treatment. It is good for you to be examined by a trained therapist and be 100 percent honest and serious with yourself and with your therapist.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-7242\" src=\"https:\/\/www.junabrookes.co.uk\/staging\/5147\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Picture3-300x239.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"239\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.junabrookes.co.uk\/staging\/5147\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Picture3-300x239.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.junabrookes.co.uk\/staging\/5147\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Picture3.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Second, it is possible that you may just have symptoms but not in fact OCD and you will only come to know about this after finding and visiting an experienced, highly trained, and certified EMDR therapist or a counselor. Once you clearly and honestly communicate what you actually feel with your counsellor, it will help him discover how OCD can control your life.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>How will EMDR work with OCD?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In simple words, first of all, EMDR will focus on the present symptoms of OCD. It will target the very specific obsession behavior that controls the mind and life and disturbs the patient\u2019s imagination. Then, the client and therapist will then target those memories of the past that are the root cause of OCD\u2019s initial behaviours. Then the therapist will desensitize and reprocess that targets which are causing troubles with the help of EMDR therapy.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-7243\" src=\"https:\/\/www.junabrookes.co.uk\/staging\/5147\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Picture4-264x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"264\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.junabrookes.co.uk\/staging\/5147\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Picture4-264x300.jpg 264w, https:\/\/www.junabrookes.co.uk\/staging\/5147\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Picture4.jpg 298w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 264px) 100vw, 264px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>What to expect from me<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I used to follow the same protocols of EMDR therapy that are considered standardized for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.emdria.org\/public-resources\/emdr-therapy-and-ocd\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OCD<\/a>.
